Use common sense: Anything on our body that does not belong there requires medical attention. So the fact that you have a lump that is growing requires immediate medical examination by physician. If it is confirmed to be real a biopsy of this lump is the next step in order to find out its cause. it could infection or even cancer, so do not delay seeking medical attention.
